Updates 10.3.11

So here I am, 10 weeks into this journey and 13 lbs. lighter!!  Woo Hoo!!  Not really going as fast as I wanted but I’m still happy seeing progress every week. 

Things should pick up now too since I just started a job and I’m on my feet, running around all day.  It’s awesome! 

I also need to up my training for the marathon.  My longest run so far has been 10 miles and my training is NOT consistent.  It’s time to make the commitment to the goal of finishing my first marathon. 

And dropping this weight once and for all! 

Food-  I have been focusing on making better, healthier choices but there’s a 5 Guys right next door to my Road Runner.  And a Chipotle across the parking lot!  But there’s also a SaladWorks and Subway too.  And I started bringing my lunch as well.  Need to shop on off days and be prepared with a variety of lunches because turkey sandwiches every day gets boring real quick.  I have been working on eating something in the morning, a “lunch” on my break and a light dinner.  I’ve been trying to avoid soda and beer but this past week I had a few of each.  I do find myself drinking water more every day and substituting it for soda.  I still need to reach out to the dietician. 

Mental- I am approved for 8 free visits and am reading a book to decide which practitioner is my best option.  I’m off tomorrow and will dedicate some time to this area. 

Those are my biggest obstacles right now.  I’m working on them every day. 

Because there ain’t no mountain high enough! Ain’t no valley low enough! To keep me from my goals! (Thanks Marvin Gaye for the borrowed lyrics!!)
